I Think

Days Of The New's song 'I Think' delves into themes of introspection, emotional struggle, and the complexity of human relationships. The opening lines, 'It feels so good outside / I think I'll stay here,' suggest a moment of peace and contentment, a rare respite from the internal chaos the narrator seems to be experiencing. This tranquility is juxtaposed with the stark line, 'And if you want to die / I think I'll care,' indicating a deep concern for someone else's well-being, despite the narrator's own emotional turmoil.

The lyrics continue to explore the narrator's internal conflict and sense of helplessness. Phrases like 'Same kind of gateway / Without time / The rocks are tumbling' evoke a sense of inevitability and the passage of time, suggesting that the narrator feels trapped in a cycle of events beyond their control. The repeated assertion, 'I think I'll care,' underscores a struggle to maintain empathy and connection in the face of overwhelming circumstances.

The song also touches on themes of blame and responsibility. Lines such as 'Blame me all you want / There's nothing / I will say' reflect a resignation to being misunderstood or unfairly judged. The narrator's decision to 'only think' and 'only pray' indicates a retreat into introspection and a search for solace within themselves. The closing lines, 'Tell me how it is / Show me how it goes / I know how you are,' suggest a desire for understanding and clarity in their relationships, even as they grapple with their own emotional challenges.
